Chapter 174: Find the Antelope Horns!
"My lord, for the sake of General Wen's safety, the last general wants to sneak into Sun's house tonight to find out the news about the antelope horns. The last general will definitely not reveal his identity, and I ask for your permission. ”
Ran Hong bowed down and said very earnestly. Ran Hong knew that Xu Muchuan was very worried about Wen Ruofei's safety, but there was no way to get the best of both worlds in front of him, which put Xu Muchuan in a dilemma.
Ran Hong's request for help this time was undoubtedly an encouragement to Xu Muchuan.
Xu Muchuan stared straight at Ran Hong's eyes, and after a long silence, he nodded heavily and said, "General Ran, please." ”
"My lord, just rest assured." Ran Hong didn't hesitate at all, and directly received the order. If in a small Compal Town, Ran Hong was found as a first-class master, then Ran Hong could really kill himself.
In the middle of the night, it was a good time for Ran Hong to act. After getting Xu Muchuan's permission, Ran Hong changed into a night suit and went directly to the Sun family's mansion in Renbao Town.
Looking at the back of Ran Hong's departure, Xu Muchuan's heart slowly became entangled.
Xu Muchuan was thinking that if Ran Hong went to Sun's house to find the antelope horns this time, it would be fine, but if he couldn't find it, then he would have to think of other ways.
This night, not only Xu Muchuan, but also many people in Compal Town couldn't sleep. The landlords and squires in the town were all discussing coming to visit the minister Xu Muchuan tomorrow morning.
When Ran Hong went to Sun's house, he had already found out the specific location of Sun's house. Ran Hong set off from the county government, walked lightly for half an hour, and finally came to the Sun family's mansion.
The moonlight dimly illuminated the roof tiles of the Sun family, and Ran Hong's figure ran lightly on the roof tiles like a ghost, but did not make a sound.
"Let's find out where the Sun family's treasury is, maybe if you're lucky, you can find the antelope horns directly." Before Ran Hong came, he had already memorized the appearance of the antelope horn according to the description of the military doctor.
The Sun family is the most powerful landlord in the surrounding ten miles and eight villages, and even the county officials of Renbao Town have to give the Sun family a lot of face. The county officials must have had contact with the Sun family over the years, but the mixed interests are unknown.
Ran Hong dodged one team after another of the patrolling families, and the night clothes seemed to melt into the void, and the family members who walked back and forth did not find any trace of Ran Hong at all.
With the help of the moonlight, after walking around Sun's house, Ran Hong found a room where the gatehouse was closed and waiting for more than a dozen families.
"Isn't there anything important here? Otherwise, there is only one place to wait for a huge mansion. Ran Hong hid in the dark night, looking at the room that was somewhat shrouded in darkness with a pair of deep eyes, and muttered to himself.
Ran Hong cautiously looked around, making sure that there would be no more patrolling family members. So, with his amazing martial arts, Ran Hong directly avoided the group of family members who were waiting outside the door.
Shout!
The sound of a piece of clothing cutting through the void sounded slightly, and it turned out that Ran Hong jumped up and jumped directly onto the beam.
"Did you hear anything?" A family member standing at the door whispered to the people around him with some confusion.
"No! Did you hear it wrong? There was no sound anywhere in the middle of the night. A lazy, sleepy man pouted and yawned in response.
"Oh, I guess I misheard!" The guy just now listened carefully again, but this time he didn't hear any sound, so he said with a relaxed heart.
Ran Hong held his breath and hugged the beam tightly, slowly moving his body to keep himself from making a loud sound. Then, Ran Hong entered the room through a gap in the beam.
Ran Hong looked down at the situation in the room, and after making sure that it was safe, he jumped off the beam.
Because when Ran Hong jumped down, his feet were slightly condensed, and he only made a small sound. Therefore, the dozen or so family members waiting at the door did not hear any movement in the room at all.
"This ...... Got a lot of stuff in it. Ran Hong glanced over and looked at the room with all kinds of exquisite things, he could hardly imagine that this was the wealth that a town landlord could have.
"How much people's fat and people's ointment have been looted to make his Sun family so extravagant." Ran Hong gritted his teeth and said to himself.
A dazzling array of things were piled up in all corners of the room, such as precious vases, calligraphy, calligraphy, paintings, gold and silver jewelry......
These things completely shocked Ran Hong, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army. Fortunately, Ran Hong understood what his purpose was for coming this time, so he quickly calmed down and began to cherish every moment of searching for antelope horns among many items.
"Where the hell is it?" Ran Hong carefully opened one boutique box after another, and then covered it as it was.
As time passed, Ran Hong couldn't help but feel a sense of anxiety in his heart, he rummaged through a lot of boxes, but he didn't find any trace of antelope horns.
Cold sweat slowly overflowed from Ran Hong's forehead, and his night clothes were also soaked with sweat.
The starry sky was shining brightly, slowly showing a dim color. After Ran Hong opened one of the last boxes, he finally found the antelope horn he was so eager to find.
"That's it, General Wen is saved." Ran Hong looked overjoyed, and then restored the room to the way it was just now.
So, Ran Hong carefully wrapped the antelope horns and put them on his back, jumped out of a window in the room, and closed the window well.
At this time, it was exactly three or four o'clock in the morning, and all the family members waiting outside the door were dozing, not knowing that Ran Hong had come out of the window in their eyes.
After getting the antelope horns, Ran Hong hurried towards the county government.
In the county government, Xu Muchuan sat on a chair, his eyes closed and his forehead supported with one hand. Even if Xu Muchuan's drowsiness hit, Xu Muchuan didn't have the slightest intention of going to bed to rest.
Because, at this moment, Xu Muchuan's heart is full of news about the antelope horns, where can he still have the heart to rest.
Since Xu Muchuan didn't fall asleep and rest, naturally, Fu Hengsheng also accompanied Xu Muchuan and sat quietly on the side.
Smack...... Smack......
In the silent night, at the door where Xu Muchuan and the others were, there were suddenly bursts of brisk footsteps.
Xu Muchuan and the others were directly awakened, and Fu Hengsheng was even more tense and ready to shoot at any time.
"My lord, the last general has fulfilled his mission and found the antelope horns." After Ran Hong pushed open the door, he bowed directly to Xu Muchuan and said with his fists clenched.
